Abstract

This study was conducted with 310 students of a university, to determine the approach of new generations to the plant-based diet and/or animal-based diet, and to examine the contribution of this approach to sustainable food. The data were evaluated using descriptive statistics in the computer. In the study, 97.7% of the participants had a mixed diet, 63.5% preferred to consume animal products for a healthy eating pattern. 79.7% stated that animal-based products cause more harm to nature. 66.5% of the participants stated that they could change their diet to protect nature. While it is not possible to transition wholly to plant-based nutrition culturally and geographically, as a result of this research, it can be said that nutrition and environmental education needs to be enriched through state and international organizations in order to achieve sustainability at every stage of the line from production to consumption.
